Abstract

FabField is a building system that borrows most of its basic principles from more evolved and flexible industries, making use of digital fabrication methods (CNC milling) to produce all components that constitute a building. However, not all aspects have been fully thought of in the system: the integration of building services for FabField is needed in order to perpetuate the core aspects of the building system: pre-fabrication, low-costs, high accuracy, light weight components and short construction times.
